Chapter 2004

Back in the living room, Rosalie was chatting with the children, discussing a name for the baby.

“If she’s a girl, let’s call her Dawn Lawrence, okay? I’m Estie, and I want my sister to be called DeeDee.” Estie put forward her suggestion.

Both Lucian and Nox commented that the name was too simple. They wanted to find something more meaningful.

“Mommy, my brothers’ names are too simple. Why did you choose them?” Estie asked, puzzled.

Nox immediately answered, “They’re not simple at all. They’re names from a TV show, and they bear great significance. Following the characters and the plot of that TV show, I’m sure Mommy gave us these names out of her yearning for Daddy!”

“This… must be incorrect.” Lucian immediately dismissed it.

Then, he expressed his thoughts, “Mommy, Lucian comes from the Latin word ‘light/ and Nox is the name of the mythological god of the night, right?”

Rosalie was so confused. She just thought their names were catchy. It was not that deep!

Byron found it interesting to hear them discussing names.” The old man picked Estie’s name. Estella is derived from the word ‘constellations.’ He said she’d shine like a star!”

“Daddy, then you tell us. What will our baby sibling’s name be?” The three little kids looked at Daddy together.

Byron frowned. Several names appeared in his mind, but he hesitated, not knowing which one was the best.

In the end, he threw the question back to the kids. “Why don’t we do this? The three of you find a name each, one for a boy and one for a girl. When you’re done, our whole family, including Grandpa and Grandma, will vote together. The name with the most votes will be chosen. How about that?”

The three kids liked such a fair way of voting and immediately nodded in agreement.

“I’m going to look up the book of songs!” Lucian quickly went upstairs.

“I’ll look for a name from ancient fables!” Nox followed closely behind.

“I’ll look for a name in poetry books!” Estie was not far behind and immediately dashed along upstairs.

Now, the living room fell silent.

Byron sat down, and Rosalie skillfully poured tea for him.

“What’s the matter? Is he gone?” she asked. Her expression was very indifferent. She could not be bothered about Gordon’s fate.

She just did not want him to disturb her current happiness.

“He didn’t leave. He passed out… I got the bodyguards to watch over him.” Byron took a sip of tea, wondering if he should tell his wife what Gordon said.

His wife was a renowned doctor. She could easily tell whether the man was terminally ill or not.

If Gordon was still deceitful with matters like this, then he was hopeless.

Subconsciously, Byron believed that Gordon’s words were true.

Rosalie frowned slightly. “Since he fainted, we might as well send him to the hospital and send him away. Did he admit that he took money from the Murrays?”

Byron nodded and immediately decided to tell his wife everything.

“If he had pretended to faint, I would’ve kicked him immediately. But he told me that he’s terminally ill and probably won’t live long. He wants to meet you and apologize to you in person!” Byron said softly.

Rosalie was stunned for a moment.

Her gaze was doubtful, but her lips twitched suddenly.

“Oh… Really? Heh, I didn’t expect his retribution to come so quickly. He’s only in his early 50s, isn’t he?” Rosalie suddenly let out a vicious comment.

This was for her mother.

Back then, he abandoned his wife and daughter and brought his mistress home, ruining their family.

This day was long overdue.
